440 in a Dakota Truck
« on: August 19, 2013 - 08:39:55 PM »
 The island of Oahu in Hawaii no longer has a Drag Strip . Ran into an old race buddy of mine . He sold a small motor Dodge Daytona Race Car and wanted to build something different . How about a 440 in a Dodge Dakota Truck .

It came out really nice . He put in a mild cam and was built to be a street car . Very Cool

Looks like a D50, not a Dakota. That would be a tight fit

There's a 91 Dakota with a 400 in it sitting in my dad's shop.  He really wants me to get rid of it.  That's a project I lost interest in a long time ago.
